Six-Pack of Motley Crue, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode, Lee McCormack of the Tramps Like Us Podcast and Corey Nowlin join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to kick ass on the wild side. Knee down ye sinners, we're talking Motley Crue! From their earliest days on Lethur Records and their punk roots, to the Corabi days and beyond, we're covering it all. As per usual, we take a few detours and tackle such thought provoking questions as 'who would win in a fight between All Hell's Breakin' Loose KISS and Too Young To Fall In Love Motley Crue?'

Three friends, two drummers, six epic Crue songs, and infinite fun.

So strap in to your gyroscopic drum kit, throw on your leather g-string, grab your nasty habits, and DUDE, it's Motley Crue DUDE!

Six-Pack of Simple Minds, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode Jon Lamoreaux of The Hustle Podcast and music business veteran John Bolsar join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to school him on Simple Minds. In the United States, Simple Minds are largely known for their absolutely perfect 80s pop masterpiece, Don't You Forget About Me, but that's not particularly representative of their career or sound or abilities as musicians and songwriters (in fact, they didn't even write that song.) They've been experimental, synth-poppy, big bandy, and much more - mixing in a variety of influences into their work through their four decade's long career. And we get into all of it with the three picks each that John and Jon are bringing.

So won't you come see about the synth-pop and sometimes not-synth-pop brilliance of Simple Minds.

Six-Pack of Elvis Costello, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode, friends of the show and regular Pods & Sods co-hosts Mr Brian Jacobs and Sean Zloch join Eric Miller to school him on the music of Elvis Costello. From his early days coming up in pub rock to the early "punk" scene to his critic darling status as singer-songwriter, we get into it all. His work with The Attractions, what sets him apart as a songwriter, a singer, a guitarist and more. Brian and Sean are sharing their personal journey of discovering Elvis Costello and bringing three of their favorite Elvis tunes.

So sit back and discover or rediscover the brilliance of Elvis Costello.

Six-Pack of Janet Jackson, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode Jon Lamoreaux of The Hustle Podcast and friend of all podcasts everywhere and future podcaster Andy Schaal join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to take an escapade into the music of Janet Jackson. Break out your key earrings, your 1814 badges, and your bellychains!  We're each bringing two picks from Janet's career - some hits, some of her lesser known hits, and even a deep cut or two. Some detours into Lyle Lovett, Vanilla Ice, and of course lots of praise for Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. This is the test, no struggle no progress... we are part of a Rhythm Nation!

So sit back and discover or rediscover the pop dominance of Janet (Miss Jackson if you're nasty).

Six-Pack of Aerosmith, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode, an eager Lee McCormack of the Tramps Like Us Podcast and BJ Kramp of the Rock And/Or Roll podcast join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to honk on some bobo. We're talking Aerosmith. We're talking the rock and roll purity of twelve bar blues, the brilliance of Joe Perry's riff mastery, how does Joey Kramer stack up to Bon Jovi's Tico Torres, does Steve Tyler tie scarves around things at home, and which is the rock and roll mustard - French's or Grey Poupon?  Serious and seriously fun conversation as we share two songs each by the Bad Boys of Boston - Aerosmith.

So sit back and let the music of Aerosmith do the talkin'

Six-Pack of Bon Jovi, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode, a reluctant Lee McCormack of the Tramps Like Us Podcast and BJ Kramp of the Rock And/Or Roll podcast join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to set the night on fire, to get wild in the streets, and to french kiss the morning. In other words, we're talking some Bon Jovi. We have mixed feelings overall, but do like some of the tunes. So if you're a sensitive fan, this may nooooot be the best episode for you. On the other hand, if you want some laughs with a few great songs thrown in, hopefully you'll hit play and let it rock!

So sit back and discover or rediscover the glorious blazes of Bon Jovi.

Six-Pack of Night Ranger, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode, Steven Michael of Growin' Up Rock and Joe Royland of Sit & Spin with Joe, join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to share some classic songs from Night Ranger. Night Ranger really had all the elements - two great singers, several great songwriters, dual lead, shredding guitars, solid harmonies and unforgettable melody for days. Naturally we bring some classics spanning their early years through the top of the nineties, but we also hit some more recent stuff and some deep cuts. It's a solid mix if you're a serious or casual fan and wanna go beyond simply "motoring, what's your price..."

So sit back and discover or rediscover the Secret of the Success of Night Ranger.
